40# PP here. I like it green because it matches my eyes.

I use mainly Triline Big Game in 20 pound test
2 of my reels have power pro on them and I don't love it
I use a 3 to 4 foot 50 pound mono leader

For jigging, 50# Power Pro on a Newell P-220F. Go together like PB & J.
Spin jigging, I like 30# Fireline on a Penn 706.
For plugging, I'm more and more moving back to mono. 20# Big Game for spinning, 25# for conventionals in the Canal.
Gotta find me some of that Ande Backcountry before it disappears, tho  |

I stated offf using 30 lb pp , some 'nests' at first [my fault] respooled in shop tight and worked fine.
had a break off so replaced with 30lb fireline... casts better / smoother and no knot problems [maybe just 20/20 from pp]
the 3o lb fl got caught under my spool during a blitz and broke off SO ,now trying 20lb fireline [shop didnt have 30 fl], it casts a mile with a habs 2 oz popper 2oz hopkins [had a guy say WOW next to me one day casting as far as i could looking for action, he asked how much weight was on the lure ! ]  |

I use mono.Depends on which reel I'm using but I like Big Game,Yo-Zuri Hybrid.
I'm in the test phase with Ande Backcountry but it seems like good line so far.

Oh you think whiplash is gone?
I have heard from numerous sources that Whiplash is now Spider stealth. I use the 30 and like it best out of all the braids I've tried.

I am addicted to Ande backcountry. I use to use Fireline 20 and Big Game 20 on my spinning. Spectron 50# on the conventionals. I went over to the BackCountry on both and will not use anything else. Very abrasion resistant, no memory, strong, good knots, no wind knots on the VS 250.

For years I've used Cortland Spectron for jigging the canal. But I started using Spiderwire Stealth and I think it casts better.

I'm on my 2nd year with 50 lb. Spiderwire Stealth and haven't had a single problem with it. Have used it on 3 different reels, all spinning and its worked fine.

As far as fishing with it....PowerPro by far. The stuff just sails through the guides like NO-OTHER.....however,,,, I have had several instances with PP (unexplainable breaks in the line) that really peeee'd me off.
Fireline is more reliable but not as smooth. IMO
I just spooled up my Nautil with some Gorilla Braid...haven't casted it yet though......
For mono, of course it's Big Game

unexplainable breaks ... my bro'inlaw had similar due to a micro fracture in the ceramic of the tip top . he couldnt figure it out 'till we relined and as I pulled it to get more line out it cut like a razor.

I know what you're talking about with fractures in the guides,,,, not the case in my scenario....
Defects in the line itself. I was so annoyed and determined one of the times that I hand peeled all the line off under bright light and investigated every inch.......found what looked to be defective spots along the line...areas that looked crushed or pinched. ???...I checked another spool and it wasn't the same.....???......I think there are some bad spools bouncing around...I sent them a letter,,,, I heard nothing?...BUT, I WILL STILL BUY PP....
